The Official Community Plan (OCP) is the Resort Municipality of Whistler’s most important guiding document that sets long-term community direction.
Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 2199, 2018 was adopted by RMOW Council on June 23, 2020. The adopted version is available below.
The OCP establishes policies that guide decisions on community planning and land use management for the RMOW over the next five to 10 years and beyond. The OCP also contains a renewed Community Vision for Whistler that articulates the high level aspirations for our resort community, describing what we collectively seek to achieve now and over Whistler’s long-term future. The renewed Community Vision is included within this plan to reinforce the important role of the OCP in pursuing the vision, and to better integrate the vision with supporting municipal policies.
